One final, but remote chance - do you have  xorg.conf in /etc/X11 or any of it's sub-dirs?
If yes, delete it or rename it, and reboot - it could be the cause by loading wrong KB driver.

Thanks for reply. I took a look and do not see any xorg.conf. That file was always a problem for me in the earlier days when it was necessary and I really am hoping I don't have to do one now!

There is a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-system-setup-keyboard.conf (or something to that effect as I am writing from memory given the Fedora box is downstairs and I'm on my upstairs box)

I compared the contents to the one on one of my F16 machines and they are the same

Hi!
I am nearly certain this is accidental triggering of SLOW KEYS , a feature to assist the physically impaired. It gets triggered if you rest your finger on the shift key for 10 seconds. The kb is not dead, but slow. Rest finger in shift 10 seconds again, slow keys turns off.  Ways exist to reconfigure, there is a long bug report in the reshot bugzilla. I can't send link from this phone,  but you should search . You'll find my name );
